Topic: Acts_as_Authenticated User/Login Gem

Acts_as_authenticated is a simple plugin that allows you to create users, and to allow or permit access to different controllers and actions based on if users are logged in (and if so, who they are). It's relatively simple, but straight-forward, and handles all the nitty-gritty details for you (like encryption and salting). Best of all, the gem comes with all the right actions and forms, so once it's installed, you can create a new user and start authenticating in minutes.
